“Rippling Streams” of Living Water: The Gospel of Peace

By Treva Scott Thompson

God’s perfect plan for my life is
Too magnificent for me to realize.
I must walk one step at a time,
Looking ahead to grasp His mercy
Would be too wondrous
For this earthly temple to enfold.
God spoke the universe into existence. Because His words are the same as He is, we know He is near and need not fear, only believe.
Within an inspirational collection, Treva Scott Thompson shares gospel in poetic form with the hope of lifting the minds and spirits of believers as God’s words become life-giving truth. Her poems encourage us to embrace the power of His word and allow his wisdom and grace to flow through our hearts and minds as we receive understanding of His teachings. Thompson’s reflections are a testament to the faith, hope, and loving guidance we gain from a close relationship with our Savior.
“Rippling Streams” of Living Water is a volume of inspirational poems shared to uplift and remind believers of the power of good to overcome evil and that God always dwells within.

Treva Scott Thompson

When Treva Scott Thompson was a small child, God found her. She was afraid of God because of the way the preachers talked about condemnation, guilt, and hell. Now, she knows that we have a loving Father who we can walk and talk with, and He will never forsake us. We can rely on His words the same as Jesus did, and His words never failto comfort and lead us into all truth. We need only to write His words upon our hearts and minds, and God will bring them back to our remembrance when we need them. That is one way God speaks to us.

Notes

Introduction

This is a book of poems, some of which I have included in my previous books. These poems are the gospel in poetic form, lifting our minds and spirits as God’s words become life-giving truth.

When His words are rooted and grounded in our being, we know that without a doubt, He is near.

We conquer our adversary by using His words. Jesus used God’s words as our example. Jesus didn’t
